[QUOTE="carliannie, post: 410743, member: 67435"] Hi Guys looking for some advice, I have been prediabetic for almost a year although, I reckon t2 as my numbers are pretty high, I went on metformin 2x500mg so low dose, I am only now seeing my bg come down, however I currently have a kidney infection?? I query this because doc done test strip which showed leukocytes and nitrates but when it was sent to lab no bacteria was cultured. I am also having probems with upper abdomen which docs were convinced was gallstones however after ultrasound this was ruled out, I am feeling generally unwell and have a lot of pain in back and around kidneys, hips and groin. I had the usual stomach cramps when I started the meds but this settled after a few weeks with no side effects. I have only been on them for 2 months. My question is this, could the metformin be causing my problems? also if I come off how long will it take to come out my system, I should add that it has made a slight difference to my bg but nothing to my weight at all, even although I am eating less. Appreciate any help guys. Keep well. :? [/QUOTE]
